1300 LOCATE

Damage to underground cables can cause fatal or severe injury. Over the years there have been a wide variety of accidents involving contractors coming into contact with underground assets such as gas mains and underground electricity cables. The severity of incidents varies greatly and the financial burden on top is not worth the risk.

This photo clearly shows that cables are not always where they say they are. These cables were supposed to be in a cable duct.

Guide for Underground Cable Locating

Your FREE Dial Before You Dig Plans can give an approximate indication of the underground cables that exist on your site. Some may not even be shown on your plan at all and may very well be under your job site. They are rarely drawn accurately or to scale and should not be relied upon. Companies like Telstra, Optus and even your local council do not have accurate records of utility whereabouts.

The position of any underground cables or services in or near the proposed work area should be thoroughly checked and marked by a highly trained and Accredited 1300 LOCATE Underground Cable Locator.
